Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs
Changing Attitudes towards the European Union: Discussion
2:00 pm
Ms Rebecca Lambe:
I studied a subject called social education when I was in school, which I had to do as part of my leaving certificate. It was based around EU and national politics but, as Ms Gayson said, there was a lack of training, with the teachers often not understanding the subject themselves. I agree there should be more training for teachers. The majority of my class failed the subject. That should not have happened because it is about our country and the politicians working for our country.
